With the hot days the of the last week and the warm nights, it's been perfect for ripening the blue berry crop. It's taken a fair bit of water to keep them from drying out with the relative lack of rain, but it's a bumper crop.
They are almost the perfect garden fruit, not taking a lot of complicated effort to grow and they produce fruit every year. Some varieties are susceptible to diseases, but if you can pick the right varieties then just watering and a little pruning and you've got berries after 2 or 3 years from young plants. Frozen whole they make delicious snacks all winter as well.
The high cloud we had yesterday which made for a nice comfortable temperature was gone today it was back to the high 20's today, fortunately there was a breeze which helped keep it comfortable. Grizzly
